PUM PING APPARATUS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 595,965, dated December -21, 1897.

Application led January 19, 1897. Serial No. 619,766. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, CHARLES E. NEWELL and DAVID M. NEwELL, of Franklin, in the county of Venango and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Pumping Apparatus, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention relates to means for transmitting power to the pumps of oil and other Wells.

The invention will be fully described hereinafter and defined in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of one form of the invention, and Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the same form of the invention.

The invention is adapted to receive power from a motor and transmit the same to a pump. On a cement base a is mounted a block b, which has the'form of' a right-angled triangle. The base of the triangle is rested on the base a, while the altitude of the triangle extends perpendicularly from the upper side of the base a.

A shaft c is held perpendicularly to the base a by means of boxes b and ct. The box a has two sections, one of which rests directly against the vertical side of the block b and against the top of the base a, and the second or outer section of which has a right-angular form, one member being rested on the top of the base a and the other member being abut ted against the outer side of the first or inner section of the bearing. Running vertically through the base a and through the horizontal member of the outer section of the bearing a are tie-rods a2, which hold the outer section of the bearing a immovably on the base. Running horizontally through the lower portion of the block b and through both sections of the bearing a' are tie-rods hwhich force the box a laterally against the vertical side of the block b. The box u. is by these means held firmly in the corner between the top of the base a and the vertical side of the block h.

The box b' is formed of two sections embracing the shaft c and held iirmly to the upper portion of the vertical side of the block b by means of tie-rods b3. The shaft c turns freely within the boxes a and bandis stepped on ball-bearings c. (Shown by dotted lines in Fig. 2.)

Fixed to the upper portion of the shaft c is a pulley d, over which a belt CZ passes. Also fixed to the upper portion of the shaft c is an eccentric d2. The power is transmitted to the shaft c by the belt d and is transmitted from the shaft by a pitman or other device coacting with the eccentric d2.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A power-transmitting apparatus having a base, a block seated on the base and having a side perpendicular to the base, bearings located one above the other and against the vertical side of the block, the lower bearing having two sections one of which directly engages the vertical side of the block, and the other of which has right-angular form with one member arranged against the rst-named section of the bearing and with the other member lying against the upper side of the base, tie-rods passed through the base and through the said second member of the outer section of the lower bearing, additional tierods passed through the bearing and through both sections of the lower bearing, the upper bearing consisting in two sections the inner of which lies directly against the vertical side of the block and the outer of which lies against the inner section, tie-rods passed through the block and through both sections of the upper bearing, a vertical shaft held revolubly in the boxes7 and means carried by the shaft, for re ceiving and transmitting movement there from, substantially as described.

2. A power-transmitting apparatus having a base, a block standing on the base, a first bearing engaging against the blockand against the base, two rods for the said first bemin g, one of said rods running through the base and having connection with the said first bearing,and the second of said rods running through the block and havin g connection with the said rst bearing, a second bearing in line with the said first bearing and engaging the block, and an additional rod run through the block and connected with the said second bearing.
